N ONE BACKFIELD MAN y ENTERS OR FADES AS OUTFIT STARTS PLAY Iilinois Coach Will Give No Other Explanation; Still Has Wing Formation SCOUTS ARE Indiana and Wisconsin Prepar- ing for Contests With Notre Dame and Colgate Chicago. Oct. 4—(@)—Bob Zuppke, maestro of University of Ilinois football, has schemed something new in the way of offense with which to confound Illini gridiron adversaries, and the University of Kansas will get the first look at it Saturday in the initial game of the Illinois schedule. Zuppke will not abandon the wing back offensive system which served te in the drives that brought Big Ten “; championships in 1927 and 1928, but #c has evolved what he calls the “fade” Jy formation, which he believes will add to the troubles of his opponents. He & has given no explanation of the for- “t mation, other than that it is so ‘um named because one backficld man @ either is fading out of the picture, or is easing in, just as the play gets under way.

The calm and comely champion, who fought an epochal, uphill fight | yesterday to turn back the spectac- ular challenge of Mrs. Harley Higble, | Detroit, one up on the 19th hole, wa: paired against Mrs. O.

Miss Collett, who is seeking her | fourth title since 1922, stood out as a favorite to win today because of her great performance in the quarterfinal | round. From the standpoint of medal play. however, Mrs. Hill had a margin on Glenna in the three tournament jrounds. In the 44 holes she nas been forced to play in the match play rounds, she is seven strotes under par. Mrs. Pressler was favored to stop | Miss Wall because of her greater con- sistency and superior iron play. Miss Wall, former Wisconsin cham- pion, wedged into the round by fair golf and a fortunate break on the 18th green y-sterday. With every- thing square, including the strokes they required, to place their pellets on the final carpet, her opponent, Mrs. Leo Federman, knocked Miss | Wall's ball into tl.e cup for a birdie {four and a victory.

By ALAN GOULD New York, Oct. 4.—(?)—If the tac- | tics of a baseball sage and master | craftsman, guiding the play of his youthful talent by the wig-wags of a score card; if strategy, in other words, develops as a vital factor in the forth- coming world’s series, the Athletics seem likely to have the advantage over the Cubs. It may contribute nothing to the | advancement of science for “brute” | fores to triumph yet it is a well known baseball fact that a few solid basehits can overthrow the most cun- ning strategy. For that reason the clouting Cub circus probably is not worried by the threat of being out- smarted by Connie Mack and a strategic board of sages that numbers Kid Gleason, Eddie Collins and Ira ‘Thomas. Nevertheless, the A's start with the skillful player-manipulation, in a i short series where every move counis, where the slightest tactical mistake may mean the difference between the | Taylor. plenty of heavy thinking, or contri- bute any amount of inside stuff on | back up Earnsh: on the big right-handed speeder, Earnshaw. depending on success or failure of the opening engagement. Mack has a southpaw mate for Grove in Rube Walberg or right handed spitballs, tossed by old Jack Quinn, to 's efforts. It is all much simpler for McCarthy, who has a logical starter in Pat Ma- lone, the iron man member of an al- most exclusively right-handed curv- ing corps. Malone. in fact, can pitch every other game until the series is decided, with Guy Bush and Charley Root to fill in the gaps. This would reduce the Cub pitching strategy to a minimum. Season Brighter For Zack Taylor the stars must have been favorable for people named James Wren Taylor. That's when James Wren Taylor was born, anyway, but he soon outgrew the James Wren part of the handle as Zack. Zack was holding an obscure posi- tion behind the bat for the Boston Braves this year when things began to happen to, all the catchers that the Cubs could assemble on one premises. Gabby Hartnett threw his arm out into the bleachers and injur- ies and hard luck beset his successors at the job. ‘Then came Zack and he has been catching for six weeks now without falling down an elevator shaft or step- ping on a forgotten pineapple in the loop district. The beginning of the Present season for Zack was a dreary enough prospect—cate! balls batters opposing the chose to let drift past— but now it’s the world series for Mr. GOLF HATH ITS REWARDS Thirty years of constant golfing finally brought its reward to Major H.
